SAP Router Installation

1. Create the subdirectory SAProuter in the directory /usr/sap/.

2. Download the latest version from service.sap.com.

3. Copy programs 'saprouter' and 'niping' into the directory /usr/sap/saprouter.

4. Add the following lines to the file /users/adm/startsap__ before the lines '#Start OS-Collector
   daemon'.
   ---------------------------------------------------------------
   #
   # Start saprouter
   #
   SRDIR=/usr/sap/saprouter
   if [ -f $SRDIR/saprouter ];then
   echo "\nStarting saprouter Daemon " tee -a $LOGFILE
   echo " " tee -a $LOGFILE
   $SRDIR/saprouter -r -W 30000 -R $SRDIR/saprouttab \
   tee -a $LOGFILE &
   fi
   -----------------------------------------------------------------

This entry automatically starts the SAProuter during the system start and it ensures that the SAProuter is always started. Since the SAProuter should continue to run after R/3 is shut down no respective entry is included in the Stopsap Script. If you boot the R/3 several times, the system displays error messages when the SAProuter is started. You can ignore these error messages. The entry of the SAProuter in the Startup Script is a recommendation.

5. However, you can also start the SAProuter manually using saprouter -r

The corresponding routing table must be maintained in
/usr/sap/saprouter/saprouttab.

If you do not want an authorization check use the line 'P * * *'.
